Its crow!!! I did my first crow for a microsecond the other day, so proud!! On my second attempt I held it a little longer but then tipped over :(

About the celebs and their marathon times….a marathon near me (Grand Rapids, MI) bases their pace groups on the times of celeb marathoners. You can run in the Oprah, George W, P. Diddy, etc pace group. How fun is that?

Awesome Crow, Eric! I can hold Crow for about 2 seconds before falling on my face. Haha!
As for your articles, #6, the one about marriage statistics, has been floating around for a few days and it really makes me mad. Mad enough to blog about it, actually! (http://thedecayedgentlewoman.blogspot.com/2009/07/just-what-i-needed-to-see.html)
It says that partners on their second or third marriage are 90% more likely to divorce. That is a BIG SCARY STATISTIC and since I’m divorced (long long long horrible horrible horrible story) my initial reaction was to feel like crying. But I’ve also got a good background in science, engineering, and technical writing and I realized that the reports of this study are using that 90% to encompass 5 different possible combinations of married people. (1:2, 1:3, 2:2, 2:3 and 3:3.) I’d like to see if the actual report breaks it down further because it’s pretty irresponsible to just run that one statistic and call it a day. So frustrating though!!

Love your blog!
I loved watching Dara Torres at the Olympics, being a swimmer myself, but have you seen her new milk ad? Not what we as women should be aspiring to! The body of a 14 year old boy, IMHO.
In a cover story about her in the New York Times magazine, Dara talked of spending $100,000 a year on trainers, coaches, two stretchers, and nannies in order to meet her goals. She was unable to get pregnant without IVF, and describes herself as driven, and as an Olympic athlete you have to be, of course, but not a role model of balance, as least not for me.

Wow, I love crow pose!
And while the whole KFC sandwich is…interesting, I am not so sure I would trust anything from a fast food place to be vegan, no matter what they say.
I love your t-shirts…but right now I am working my way out from under a pile of clothing in the bedroom. Maybe if I ever finish cleaning it I’ll get one as a reward!

Hey Angela! I wanted to let you know that I’ve just purchased some sample sized mixes from Amazing Grass and used your code to save some money, so THANK YOU! I can’t wait until they arrive so I can hop on the Green Monster train.
Next up – chia seeds!

Thanks for the plank ideas!! I just did my first plank in months today. Umm…yeah…gonna start doing those more often :P

I really liked tip #2 from Dara Torres. Mostly because I JUST got into an argument with my boyfriend about how long I should be warming up on my bike. He says 5 minutes is fine, I feel like I need at least 10. Obviously, I forwarded the article along ;)
